Best Skin Brightening Creams
At last! Product reviews from a gal who has sincerely tried them all!
If you are shopping around for a skin brightening cream, chances are you will be inundated with information and hundreds of products will be vying for your attention. Not least the dizzying array of ingredients will further confuse you. I am a young female who has had problem skin such as acne as well as pigmentation problems and have tried many skin brightening products out there. Some work great, others are less successful and a few handful are simply to be avoided as they do nothing at all.
When I first began my hunt for the best creams out there, there wasn’t a site that offered a fully comprehensive review that was honest and decent. I also felt like the people who put the pages together did not actually use the products themselves. I am sure they meant well but I felt they were misinformed. As such, I have created this page so that I can offer you my honest reviews on the products that DO WORK so that you avoid what I went through: hours surfing the net, money wasted on products that do no work, etc. not to mention that a lot of these products contain harmful chemicals.
I have tested these products out myself and my reviews are as honest as daylight.
I hope you find your cream of choice from my review below and I would love to hear from you and your experience by emailing me at julie24n24@googlemail.com.
All the products listed on my site are made with natural ingredients. None contain harmful chemicals such as Mercury and Hydroquinone, both of which are banned in cosmetics in some countries as they are dangerous. Please see my article on the safety of skin lighteners by clicking here.

SkinBright Skin Brightening Complex
Skinbright‘s exclusive formula consists of nature’s most effective brightening ingredients, alpha-arbutin and kojic acid, that will help to remove the appearance of all types of skin discolorations such as melasma, age spots, hyperpigmentation and so much more. The results really surprised me! It does work quite well! I liked how it went on smoothly and was moisturizing as well. I had been using SkinBright for 2 months and already within the first week, I noticed my skin was a lot smoother and brighter. My acne scars were also starting to fade and three weeks later, they had disappeared altogether. That was less than a month. The majority of users see visible results within 3 to 6 months. This product definitely works for me and is very moisturizing too. SkinBright contains exfoliating properties which causes your skin to gently shed its dead skin cells to reveal a brighter and even skin tone. The packaging is also airtight so there is no risk of air contamination nor exposure to light, therefore shelf life is kept to a maximum. Result? Product lasts a good long time.
Best of all, aesthetically, I can confidently apply just the barest of foundation instead of heaping it on with concealers on top of my skin. Skin just looks much more clearer and luminous. As such, I have given Skinbright 5 stars.

Meladerm is second on my list as it combines great value for money and effectiveness. This product ranks highly on my list. However my only gripe is the smell, it smells too medicinal but as with anything, you do get used to it. I also liked the fact that this, similar to Skinbright, came in an airtight dispensing bottle which prevents the active ingredients from coming in contact with air. The product is backed by a 30 day guarantee even if the bottle is empty. Now that’s what I call confidence in your own product. Meladerm also has a complete range of skincare products that is compatible with the lightening cream which no other skin lightening creams offer at present.
Its effects can be felt in as little as under one month’s use however at the same time, it is gentle on your skin with its natural moisturizers to soothe and protect your skin. As such, it deserves 5 stars as well.

Revitol is another successful skin brightening product that has done wonders for my skin. As well as containing all natural ingredients, it is packed full of vitamins to protect my skin as well as moisturize it (notably with Shea Butter and Allatoin). What I like most about Revitol is that it contains amazing antioxidants within its formula to help protect the skin against the sun and the free radicals that can damage the pigment and create uneven skin color and blotchiness. Another benefit of Revitol is it contains the natural properties to help eliminate the dead skin cells that can create wrinkles; making my skin stronger and more resistant. I also love the fact that with any 4 bottle package purchase, I get 2 bottles free and it also backed by a 90 day guarantee. However I have given this 4 out of 5 stars as the packaging can invite air contamination so ensure you close it tighhly and keep in a cool, dark place.

This Japanese-bred brand is one of the most trusted ones out there when it comes to skin brightening products. I am sure you have seen Japanese skin before and have marveled and how clean and bright their complexion is. DHC Alpha Arbutin range consists of the White Cream, White Powder and White Mask. I have tried all three and can say that they all do work very, very well, though I do have gripes about the White Powder. It is frustrating getting the application right onto the affected areas, being a powder it can go everywhere and as it goes from powder to liquid, you have to be quick in the application. I have found that the best way is to tap some into the cap and then with a clean, small makeup brush, dab it on and it does absorb quickly which is a plus. Best to use this on top of the White Cream once fully absorbed. The White Mask is to be used once a week and I have found that all three products have rendered my skin much brighter and clearer. Despite its effectiveness and quality packaging, I have given DHC 4 out of 5 stars because of the tricky application with the White Powder and some people may find this line expensive.

Vikki Lamotta’s Perfect Skin Lightener
Another great product that works well is Perfect Skin Lightener by Vikki Lamotta. This company has been around for about 25 years and has a respectable reputation in skin enhancing products that are safe and effective. Perfect Skin Lightener is made with all natural ingredients and definitely does work, but I found that it took longer than most creams. I had sun spots on my chest and around the side of my nose and found that it took 3 weeks for any visible results, after which my skin improved remarkably (website states that you will see initial improvements in less than 2 weeks). So if you are patient enough, this could be the cream for you. Also the packaging could be improved on as it comes in a pot so bacterial transfer can be easily done if your fingers are not clean. The packaging also invites air contamination so you have to be extra careful when storing it after use. However, it is great value for money at only $39.95 which is a great bargain for pot.

One final note: The products I have outlined above are made with natural ingredients and do not contain harmful chemicals like Hydroquinone and Mercury. However if you must use Hydroquinone use a product with 2% or less for safety but only under the supervision of a physician. Under no circumstances should you use any lightener that has Mercury. Mercury is very poisonous to the human body. Please click here to read my article on the safety of skin brightening creams.
